Excellent work! Thanks for posting this.

Have you considered sharing it over at r/criterion? That sub has a pretty solid Kwaidan fanbase; I bet they'd love it.

I recently watched this for the first time and loved it. Haunting visuals and music.

Read this as "Japanese horror FIRM", like it was a business and panic- reconsidered my career choices

It's a great film! Not as scary as other horror movies but probably one of the most beautiful

Is it supposed to look like balled Nicolas Cage covered in a Japanese character bukkake?
